http://brownsheep.com/blog/the-saga-of-the-rainbow-striped-fair-isle-thigh-high-socksSometimes, a knitting project turns into a saga, especially when you make mistakes. But it's all worth it to persevere and enjoy the satisfaction of a job "Wells" done.

http://brownsheep.com/blog/company-phone-lines-downWe have been having phone troubles this week. Apparently, a squirrel has chewed through the phone lines somewhere in town, and it is affecting our lines here at the mill! We are here and working, but if you call and don't get an answer and voicemail does not pick up, please know it's a problem we are aware of and the phone company is working on it now.

Our internet is working just fine, so please email Amy or Tracy with any questions or orders you may have.

Thank you so much for your patience as we work through this problem.

http://brownsheep.com/blog/providing-pattern-supportProviding quality patterns that support our yarn is very important to us, which is why we are working diligently to make sure you, our customers, have that resourse. Over the past several months, we have incorporated a page on our web page titled "Now Featuring," where you can see new patterns recently released in publications and available for purchase. We have also been adding new patterns to our Free Downloadable pattern page. Many of these patterns are new designs. However, in looking through our many years of our own pattern publication, we have decided to bring back some of our best-selling and most requested patterns as free downloadable patterns for you. We've added eight over the past eight weeks, and have many more to revise and then publish here for you. Please check back often to see if there is something new that catches your eye. If there is a specific Brown Sheep pattern you are looking for, feel free to contact us at the mill, by email or Facebook and we'll do our best to make that pattern available for you. Stay Tuned!

http://brownsheep.com/blog/snow-dayIt's practically a snow day here at the mill. Here in western Nebraska, it's not necessarily the AMOUNT of snow we get, but how much it BLOWS after it falls. If you call the mill today, please be patient as we are short staffed. Thanks for your understanding!

http://brownsheep.com/blog/keeping-busyThis morning, while her big sister was getting help with a pattern, nine year-old Charee made herself comfortable in front of our handpaint wall in the store and starting finger knitting a new scarf. She just learned how last night at church, and has already completed the lovely scarf she was wearing this morning.

This is true ability...note that she is also reading a book! Though I have family members who can do such amazing feats, I have never been able to accomplish this myself. You go, Charee!
